Meta Wins Major Legal Battle, Court Rules It Is Not a Monopoly
Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has scored a significant legal victory after a court ruled that it does not hold monopoly power in the social media market. The decision comes in the wake of a high-profile lawsuit that challenged Meta’s dominance and accused the tech giant of anti-competitive practices.
The court found that while Meta wields substantial influence in social media, its position does not constitute a monopoly under existing antitrust laws. The ruling effectively clears the company of legal restrictions that could have forced major structural changes or divestitures.
